Phantasy Spelling: Difference between revisions

== [[The Fair Folk|Fairy/Phaery]] ==

* ''[[Gunnerkrigg Court]]'' lampshades it:

* ''Shelley Duvall's Faerie Tale Theater''.

* ''Faerie Wars'' by James Herbert Brennan is odd in that it uses two spellings ("fairy" and "faerie") depending on who is saying the term, most probably to distinguish between the "real" thing and the more mainstream usage.

** Also, in the pilot there was an old-looking book titled ''Vampyr''.

* Also parodied in ''[[Discworld/Carpe Jugulum|Carpe Jugulum]]'':

* One ''[[Blade]]'' series implies that vampires and vampyres are actually different things.

* The [[Ravenloft]] campaign setting makes the distinction explicit: vampyres are living, predatory humanoids who consume blood and have the ability to supernaturally dominate the minds of their prey; vampires (generally) follow their traditional depictions.

* While ''[[World of Warcraft]]'' has no vampires per se, the San'layn come close. One of the dungeon bosses in ''Wrath of the Lich King'', Prince Taldaram, has an attack called "Embrace of the Vampyr".

* ''[[Darkened Skye]]'':

"With a Y. Spell vampyre with a Y!" }}
